More Icelandic adventures will follow. First back to France. Because France is awesome. Well, it's cool. We're heading from Caen to Brest in...

Image
The mighty Kenworth!

Image
Hardcore ProMods users might know something I'm heading to on the route to Brest...

Image
'Murican powaaaah to beat yo Russian truck! hehe

Image
Well there you go. Spoiler alert :)

Image
More spoilers!

Image
I guess it's clear. Hey, cabview. That is long ago.

Image
Photoshoot at "Le Mont Saint-Michel". For those among us who don't know it, drive the route from Caen to Brest and you'll find it :)

Image
This truck is powerful but the noise it makes is sometimes very annoying.

Image
Arrived in Brest.


For our next journey we will be using the Actros MP4, because I really like the way it drives.
To pick it up we needed to head to Mercedes HQ in Stuttgart. Notice my Stuttgart plate by the way!

Image
We are transporting... I forgot. :( Anyway, we're heading to Orléans. Again to France? Well France is very large so there's no way to not go there :)

Image
Jam! Let's brake! Stuttgart is so busy.

Image
All this slow driving on the middle lane, Mercedes says hi.

Image
It's not really on the route but I decided to pick up as many highways as possible, that meant heading for Basel.

Image
And we're in Basel.

Image
Nice bridge!

Image
A tunnel under Basel.

Image
"Live action train jumping" although it's not really going fast. Welcome to France again!

Image
Chew on the power of this Merc! Iveco's are not that powerful IMO. Or this driver is not fast.

Image
Evening falls so I took a rest.

Image
"Les Tournesols", or Sunflowers.

Image
Just some small roads to go to Orléans.

Image
Remember this spot? If not, scroll back some posts :)

Image
Image
Beautiful evening skies.

Image
Sun is gone and rain has come :/

Image
Going through all the towns again.

Image
You probably remember this spot ;)

Image
Extremely big towers :o

Image
Decided to take a detour into the plant and really, that is huge.

Image
A small bit of four lane roads and we're in Orléans.

Image
Hiding behind the signs :)

Image
Never have made such a bad effort at parking, sometimes I hate myself.

I'm back! And today, I have some more screens!

Image
We're taking a very yellow Volvo from Orléans to Poitiers. And some maize behind it.

Image
This honestly was not my fault, that Lexus just didn't pay attention to my turn signals!

Image
Nice roads. The 90 km/h speed limit makes France pretty nice to drive in.

Image
Russian firemen that don't really know speed.

Image
Oh, Poitiers is not that far, we're there already.

Image
First some toll...

Image
You can see the highways here very clearly.

Image
Short load so here's the end already. But, I have a surprise...

Image
I noticed this gate that wasn't closed...

Image
...which lead me to this airport runway!

Image
Line up and ready to test speed...

Image
Planes!

Image
With a great run and picked some grass, I decided the top speed of this Ohaha Volvo is 113 km/h. Though if the runway was longer, it'll be faster.

That's it!

No updates I'm afraid. A) my vacation is about to end and B) I just bought Scandinavia DLC for myself and connected it to ProMods 1.96. So I'm more exploring with a car than actually doing journeys.

Updates: Discovered Zwolle, found this sign near Köln, found it very funny:

Guess what? More journeys!

Image
This is a random (but nice) shot between Kristiansand and Oslo.
That's right: Scandi DLC pictures!

Image
First we start in Göteborg, where the Volvo factory is located. We're taking a Volvo FMX to Tórshavn with my Ocean Race FH.

Image
Bridge in Göteborg.

Image
First ferry, to Frederikshavn, Denmark.

Image
Looks good... :)

Image
Nearly at the second ferry: to Tórshavn, Faroer.

Image
Enjoying the sky again...

Image
We're in Rødbyhavn!

Image
And this is Tórshavn. Small journey, but nice, and explored the new cargo! :)

Image
Next journey goes from Brussels to Växjö. We're transporting Pistebullies (or snowploughs, I remember Germans call them Pistebullies :))
We're using a Volvo FH16 540 base spec. Because I wanted to try some customization, and 750 is sometimes a bit overkill ;)

Image
Overtaking another Volvo.

Image
Avoiding the Netherlands, which is odd for me.

Image
Big climb near Liège.

Image
German Autobahn... Which is large.

Image
Insert female driver joke here...

Image
A Renault that wants to be a Volkswagen... :P

Image
Slow people on the right lane, Volvo is not slow ;)

Image
Hamburg!

Image
Elbtunnel!

Image
Quick reststop on the border with Denmark.

Image
And we're in Denmark!

Image
Another nice bridge.

Image
The sky is nice!

Image
Another bridge...

Image
Took a resthalt because I like daytime driving more.

Image
Øresund bridge, to Sweden...

Image
Another Øresund bridge shot.

Image
I like trains.

Image
Approaching Växjö...

Image
A plain but relaxed highway.

Image
Exit Växjö!

Image
Good thing I took the Euro 6 engine.

Image
Scandi DLC has a very nice feeling to it.

Image
And delivered!
